Gesu Catholic School 

---

Gesu Catholic School is a preschool through eighth grade school in Detroit, Michigan. We are all facing uncertain times during this pandemic and Gesu decided to go with a hybrid approach for teaching in the new school year. Every family was given the option of coming to school each day or learning from home—whatever was best for them.. While this has been challenging, especially with a new principal at the helm at the school, the students and teachers have responded admirably to create the best possible learning environment.

At Holy Cross Parish in Corpus Christi, the new Catechetical year is under way. Our religious education continues, although in a very different way this year.

Although this school year started off very differently and with challenges due to the pandemic, our students, teachers and staff have remained focused on education. St. Peter Claver is conducting school both virtually and in-person while implementing new safety protocols. Our students and staff have adapted with resilience and a positive attitude.

At the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year, West Catholic High School teachers and administrators introduced families to the Households System. Replacing homerooms, the program breaks students from all grade levels and backgrounds into small, close-knit groups (or “households”) that prioritize relational development and a persistent experience of Christian community.
